You're thinking of satellite-based broadband. It can download very quickly,
but the latency is poor. Cable and DSL don't have this problem. Or
shouldn't; you may have something set wrong if you can't ping some servers
at <50ms.
I guess we'll have to just disagree on winmodems. Not long ago I refused to
consider them at all - and still wouldn't for gaming - but the price
difference is so great and any performance hit unnoticeable on average
office machines, that I've been installing them for a couple years now. No
complaints, and I honestly can't perceive any hit.
